This morning I am going to be finishing the last part of this particular Bible Study.  It has been over a year of putting the pieces in place as the Lord spoke to my heart what to cover.  You might wonder if this is how all my Bible Studies go – NO!  I study each day and usually am done with my personal studies over a matter of weeks, but this one is different.  This study has connected with women all over the world.  I have had no less than 12 countries respond and they were on 5 different continents.  The Lord placed on my heart that what He wanted in this was to prick our hearts to seek to be more and more Godly in our position of wife … Read entire article »

We are now finishing up the last “day” of our study.  This Bible Study will remain on our website permanently and so I have been in no hurry to post the different parts.  Hopefully it will continue to bless the sisters who find it.  For four months I have prayed over the Sunday portion of the study because in many ways it is the most important.  We will not treat this as the “Sabbath” day of our week, but as the Lord’s Day which is how the New Testament church treated it.  The Lord has prompted me to title it “Set Apart for the Lord” because His original intent in creating a day following all His work was a day set aside to rest.  As we study being set apart I … Read entire article »

It’s Saturday in our Godly Wife Bible Study.  For our study we are using Saturday as “Projects Day”.  Most families tend to do particular things on particular days of the week whether they realize it or not.  Here on Shepherds Hill we generally use Saturday as a day for doing big projects.  The reason is that this is the day when everyone is usually home from work and we can all devote a large block of time to something particular, whether  as a family or individually. We have already covered “Making Something” on Wednesday but today is about a bigger picture.  For the purpose of our study I want to expound on this in the vein of setting goals and establishing a plan to accomplish what the Lord has shown you … Read entire article »

 It has been awhile since I added to the Godly Wife Bible Study but as I said before, I have been determined that I will not make an addition until the Lord clarifies to me what He desires to be added.  This morning He has finally given me the addition for it.  Any baker knows that one of the main processes of baking is the waiting.  Waiting for the dough to rise, waiting for the oven to preheat, waiting for the actual baking and then waiting for the item to cool.  Waiting is one of the most difficult things that we do as humans.   We are an impatient people and want what we want when we want it.  In baking though, to get the desired end results there is no … Read entire article »

 Mmmmm, can you smell that bread baking today?  As we continue our study on being a Godly wife we find ourselves on Friday.  Being Friday we want to do our baking for the upcoming weekend.  There are so many areas that we could explore in baking day, let’s just see where God takes us.  You might think that our discussion will be about recipes for breads, cakes, pies, etc.  And yes, I do want to discuss that, but I feel the Lord leading me to begin this study on one of the most important aspects of baking bread – the yeast.  Uh Oh!   As a young mother I wanted to be able to make fresh bread for my family.  I didn’t know anyone that knew how to do that – there was … Read entire article »

As I have stated before there are many versions of our little poem and so there are many versions of what Thursday should be.  I have chosen the version that has Thursday asMarket Day.  As I have prayed about how the Lord would have me cover this day’s activity, I feel confident that I am not to delve too deeply into finances even though it would be a reasonable topic to cover from the title.  We are going to discuss to some degree being faithful stewards.  In our study of being of Godly wife, we must include the aspect of being responsible with the money that is provided to us for keeping our home. Market day is obviously the day in which we would make the purchases necessary for that job.  So … Read entire article »
